Hey all,

Just wondering if someone could help me. I'm wanting to start kitesurfing and trying to choose between the slingshot rally and the slingshot RPM (12 metres for both). Which one would be the better starting out kite?

the rally is a better beginner kite becuase of its shape and awesome depower and the rpm is more performance and freestyle based

yep rpm needs a lot more finesse with the trim

i've got rallys also and would of thought they turn a bit quick and you'd be better on the RPM.
